BSc (Hons) Children's Nursing
Children’s nurses care for children from birth to adulthood and support their families to care for them. Children’s Nurses bring a detailed understanding of children and young people’s health and wellbeing, clinical and technical skills and skilled communication to enable families to feel safe in their care. On our BSc (Hons) Children’s Nursing degree you'll learn the skills you need to be able to join a dedicated team committed to delivering exceptional child and family-centred care, whilst being a pillar of support.
Becoming a children’s nurse is an extremely rewarding yet challenging career. You’ll have experiences from neonatal units to general children’s wards, children’s own homes to paediatric intensive care and everything in between, giving you a rounded view of children and young people’s healthcare and learn the theory and evidence that informs that care.
As a qualified children’s nurse you’ll have the opportunity to grow and take on a range of roles, providing plenty opportunities for career advancement.
During your time on the programme, you'll be working alongside experienced health care professionals who will help you to become a caring, confident, competent and practice-ready children’s nurse.
The programme develops and nurtures you as you gain the skills and knowledge you need to meet and manage the health needs of children, young people and their families.
